tonight, that he is N'''
OPPOSED TO HANGING
under any circumstances, and went on
to say that this was not a question of
mercy, but of public policy. Mr..
Haines thinks, in view of the fact

might be unsafe to hang the Condemned

THE DELEGATION EN- ROUTE.
The main delegation to intercede TO-
the condemned Anarchists left here az
l1.20 pm. for Springfield. Some fifty
men and women composed the party.
The immediate relatives of the con
demned who accompanied the party
were Mrs. Gretchen Spies, Ferdinand
Spies and Henry Spies, Mrs. Schwsb,
Mrs. Fischer and Miss Marie EngeI.
The wife of Engel did not go, neither
did Miss VanZandt. There was much
disappointment of the curiosity-seekers
at her non-appearance. A eiairyoyant
named Mrs. Richmond was with the
party, and IS expected to make an
appeal to Governor
Oglesby.
This evening EngeI sent out TO his
wife basket of dirty dishes and soiIed
linen. He was so soIicitious about its
reaching her that suspicion was
aroused, and the basket searched.
Hidden away between the dishes was q
secret note, in German, to EngeIs wife,
stating, briefly. that Engel
WOULD AGAIN ATTEMPT SUICIDE
before Friday, and that he meyer would
die on the gallows. Every precaution
will be taken to thwart his intention.
In addition to the joint letter of Spies.
F1elden and SchWab, deploring the loss
OF life st Haymarket, and disaVoWing
the use OF force, the former EMPLOYERS
OF Flelden have secured from him "a
separate letter to the Governor confess
ing that he has been guilty of using ex
travagsntlanguage, which he now re-
grets, and saying that
HE RECANTs AND DIsAyoWs
all his loyalty to the doctrine that the
wrongs of any class q society should be
righted by violence.
Judge Gary and States Attorney Ing
ham have Endorsed upon the applica-
ton their views in the case. Lawyer
Foster, acting for Schwab, has pursued
a very similar course, and has secured
the recognition of whatever claims
Schwsb may have to Communication from .
Messrs. Grinnell and IDgham. 1t may
be said with confidence that Judge
Gary and Mr.. Grinnell will take no
steps in favor of Communication for any
of the other condemned men.
1t is said, tonight, that
CAPTAIN BLACK WILL ACT AS CHIEF sPoKEs-
of all the delegations before the gov
